I had never seen Chris more relaxed around her than on that FD. When he was reading the FS card and she filled in TAHAA and he looked over to her and said, "I'm reading this", she laughed then kissed his ear. They were so playful.

I'm sorry to all you Roberto fans, I don't see that playfulness that couples have when they are truly in LOVE. I only see Ali trying hard for Roberto and trying to win his LOVE. After awhile, you burn out from that.

Frankly, IMO, Roberto does not have that level of maturity to commit to a serious relationship.

That's how I see it. There is an easiness between them. Ali does kiss him on the neck and touch him when she doesn't have to. Why do it if you are into another guy? I'm sure the edit plays into all of it. Like Sanlee says she may have picked NOBODY!

Yeah. Trista and Ryan pocketed a cool million. Now the "happy couple" gets $10,000 per hour of the televised wedding ceremony and abc gets to decide how much of the actual ceremony they want to show --at least that's my understanding from my handy dandy copy of the contract.

Re: Bachelorette 6 Ali Fedotowsky***Spoilers***

You are so right. Your feet are always off the ground and your heart is so full you think it will burst. Spoil then while you can...you never know what tomorrow can bring..

You guys are so right! For those of us that are lucky enough to blessed enough to have it despite the odds, it's a sobering reminder to to be thankful for every single moment (even the annoying ones). I love my husband as much as the air I breathe. I just got my gorgeous almost 21 year old "baby" off the plane home from college for break. The plane was delayed with some severe mechanical problems. Please bear with me mods, I just want to share for a day, for I could have lost him tonight.

I hope with my whole heart that Ali understood the true value of the two fine men that were in front of her. She may not have the luxury of such a choice ever again.

Re: Bachelorette 6 Ali Fedotowsky***Spoilers***

I just watched Ali's diary of the departed from Jake's season and it's so interesting in light of everything that's going on this season. I like it so much because it's Ali being natural and real, before she became TBette and had to hide her emotions on the show and then BS using a pre-written script in interviews.

Anyway, she says she's very pragmatic, very realistic, and can't take a risk just for a chance to be with Jake- she doesn't gamble and never will. She says she doesn't regret leaving Jake because if it's for real, they're going to end up together in the end anyway, if it's meant to be, it'll happen.

Whatever shenanigans are about to happen in the finale, it's interesting to me to note where Ali's head is, especially the part about not being a gambler.

MaryEsq, I'm glad your son is home and safe. Have a good time with him home

I needed to feel how emotionally attached Roberto is and he made very clear tonight that he is in it for the long haul and he cares about me and you know it makes me feel so good. and with each passing moment I spend with him i just keep thinking this could be it, and it could be the beginning of the rest of our lives together."

Hint from last couple of weeks: Ali wearing a 'I'm Love' tshirt - conviniently down two letters from "I'm in Love"
